To @ZZ whom ven/05g; emweyie:

Be it known that We, JACOB C. 'KNUPP and JAMES G. GREENE, eitirgens ofthe United States, residing et JV-siren, in the @misty of Varen andStateof Pennsyivsnia, lieve inl vented a. new and useful Sondeei, of whichthe oiiowingis a speeiiieation.

einsengranted to ourselves on the 14th day' of l and the improved devicemay be' readilyap March, 1905. 1n order that the shaft may bemanipulated so as to throwfthe frictionwheel into and out of engagementwith the 5 driving-wheel, one end of said shaft adjacent to the wheel.21 is journaled in a boxing 22, pivotally' mounted in a frame 23, havinggrooved end members 24, adapted to slide 1n a suitably constructedsupporting e frame.

i r0- (Not shown.) The opposite end oi the shaft may be supported inarocking box, or it may be provided with a detachable tapering gudgeon,as 25, secured iii position by means of a set-screw' 26 and adapted tobe used in connection with a common knuckle-post as used vin connectionwith standard well-drilling rigs. Tl1e\friction-wheel is 'preferablysecured in position upon the shaft by means of a key or spline 27,engaging the groove 8 in the shaft, zo and a corresponding seat saidfriction-wheel, said spline being secured in position, as by niean'svofa `set-screw 29, extending through the hub of the 'frictionwheel. Therim of the latter is preferably of 2 5 the` beveled and slightlyconcavedshape, (shown in the drawings as 31,) whereby it is enabled to cooperatein asatisiactory inanner with a'drivingnvheel of appropriateconstruction.

The operation and advantages of this invention will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing'description, taken in connection with thedrawings hereto annexed. The construction is simple,

2S in the hub oi l durable, vand inexpensive,

plied and utilized in connection with modern 'forms of welLdrillingrigs.

Having thus described. the invention, what is clailnedis- 1. A sand-reelincluding' two neads each provided on its inner side with a pair ofconcentric annular flanges, said heads being provided with hubs havingkey-seats and setscrews disposed in registry with the key-seats; incombination with stayes having their ends seated between the ianges oi"the heads, means for `drawing the latter-tightly in the direction ofeach other, a shaft extending through thev hubs of the heads and havinglongitudinal groove in alineinent with the key-seats in the hubs, andkeys or splines engaging said groove and key-seats and. secured by theset-screws.

2. A sandreel including'a pair of heads, means for drawing said heads inthe direction of' cach other, staves heads and constituting thereel-body ordrnin,

interposed between the and an intermediate or auxiliary disk having aradial slot.

in tstii'nonj that we claim the foregoing as our own we have heretoa'llixed our signatures in the presence oi`two witnesses.
